In life, we are all going to experience various difficult situations. When we're able to look at those situations and learning opportunities, we can gain so much in those moments. That's what the magic in the muck is all about. Just as the lotus flower needs mud to grow into a beautiful budding flower, so to do us humans. Join us today as Doctor of Psychology, Jason Frishman, shares with us how we can do that.

I've had some recent struggles with the direction and growth of Project UnchainED recently. I decieded it was time I get vulnerable with you all on something that is current in my life.

In order to find your path forward in your most authentic expression, we must consider it as self-discovery. Asking questions about how and why we operated in certain ways, to better understand ourselves. For it is in that authenticity, that we are most free!
